I spent Saturday afternoon cleaning off my memory card along with organizing the photos into folders on the computer. The goal was to place a large print order with Shutterfly. which was part of my "get back to scrapping" strategy. If I intend to go to the May 14 crop at the LSS I need photos. Not which I don't already have photos, I just need more.
A few weeks ago I got an email via a photo processor called PhotoWorks. Apparently I have/had an account with them along with some photos were still stored there. They're closing up shop along with they're offering customers a $30 credit if they transfer their photos to Shutterfly. Was I interested? Heck yeah! 30 bucks is 30 bucks. I did the transfer, not genuinely caring about the photos one way or the additional because I have all those same photos backed up at home. A short time later I got an email with the $30 credit code, thank you very much.
On Saturday I decided which was time to take the photos off my memory card, some of which are over a year old, so I could use my Shutterfly credit.
O.M.G. What an ordeal.
I had 393 photos on my memory card dating back to March 2010. I don't take a ton of pics however I still had to deal with which. I took a screen shot. which is approx. 1/6 of what was on the memory card. which took me forever to organize everything. Never again will I let which get like which.
I then had to deal with Shutterfly, which was a hair-pulling experience in itself. If you follow me on Twitter you may have seen a few tweets expressing sheer frustration at the whole ordeal. Their "express" downloader is far via express. which took well over an hour to upload about 70 prints. which's ridiculous along with not what I consider "express." Then I had to crop each one. [whine]
After spending the entire afternoon uploading, cropping along with fine tuning the order to get which as close as I possibly could to $30 without going too much over (I had to spend at least $30 to use the credit), I hit the 'place order' button.
which is where which feels like Extreme Couponing. Check which out:
